Learners’ Attitudes Towards The Online Simulations Of The Self And The Other

It may be suggested that the technological boom had blurred certain elemental social notions, videlicet reality and knowledge construction, and hence had redefined the process of the social construction of reality in a new digitalized fashion. This alternation is noticeable in the realm of teaching English in EFL classes, a milieu where technology, via Internet, serves to the learners novel simulated realities that depict their communities and themselves along certain pejorative simulacra of the Self. To these institutionalized and objectivated realities, learners negatively react by developing certain stereotypes and prejudices towards the Other.
